The Jiuhua Alliance was brimming with joy. Everyone was overjoyed that Lu Xuan had safely returned to the Heavenly Sword Continent. They might not be able to do anything outside of the Heavenly Sword Continent, but once they returned, they would find Lu Xuan even if they had to dig three feet into the ground. So what if Lu Xuan had returned to the Octagonal Sacred Temple?
Lu Xuan, who was far away in Heaven Fiend Valley, had no idea that his every move had affected the minds of many people. At this moment, he was carefully retreating under Ling Jin's protection.
Although it had been a long time, Lu Xuan still remembered the path in Heaven Fiend Valley like it was yesterday. He could even find traces of the formation he had set up when he came here. Not long after, Lu Xuan arrived at the place where Sikong Dong, Sikong Xi, and Sikong Nan had been trapped. However, the formation had long since been broken.
After a careful search, Lu Xuan did not find any corpses, and there were no demonic beasts in Heaven Fiend Valley. Thinking of this, Lu Xuan nodded lightly and muttered to himself, "Looks like they were rescued by someone. It should be Sikong Zhengqing."
"What are you looking for?" Ling Jin looked at Lu Xuan and asked in confusion.
"I trapped a few people here before, but it looks like they have been taken out. I just don't know if they are alive or dead."
"Who cares if they are dead or alive? Let's get out of here first." Ling Jin was not interested in Lu Xuan's past at all. This was the first time she had left the Demon Sealed Continent, so she was quite curious about the Heavenly Sword Continent. Unfortunately, after walking for so long, they were all in the wilderness. Aside from some killing intent and no vital energy, it was no different from the Demon Sealed Continent.
"This place is not far from the exit. I'm sure there will be people guarding me. When the time comes, I'll have to rely on you."
"No problem. It's just some..." Ling Jin wanted to say that Lu Xuan was just a human, but she thought about it and remembered that Lu Xuan was a human as well. She changed her tone and asked, "How many people are there as powerful as you?"
Lu Xuan paused for a moment before saying, "There are many who are at the same level as me. However, if you are talking about the kind of power I displayed on the Demon-Sealing Continent … There are about 10 of them."
While there were many mighty ones in the Heavenly Sword Continent, with the Ye clan alone having quite a few top-notch mighty ones, and the Sikong clan probably had some hidden aces as well, Lu Xuan was not bragging. There were not many who could take on the 18 Demon Generals of the Xuan clan on their own and escape from the combined attacks of Ah Da, Ah Er, and Xuan Jianan.
Ling Jin looked at Lu Xuan, a little surprised. She naturally knew how difficult it was for Lu Xuan to escape from Xuan Jianan's clutches. From her point of view, Lu Xuan's level of strength was considered top-notch even among the many demons on the Demon Sealing Continent. She never expected that there would be at least ten experts of such level in the Heavenly Sword Continent.
Lu Xuan knew what Ling Jin was thinking from the look in her eyes. He smiled softly, "Don't underestimate us humans. If we can firmly occupy a place in the Heaven Region, how bad can we be?"
"Hmph, that's just because you have a lot of people. Us demons are born with great strength. How can you compare?"
"No matter how many you have, if you don't have an expert, you can't escape the fate of being enslaved. Isn't it the same for your Succubus race? Moreover, although you demons are born strong, your achievements are almost predetermined. Unlike humans, every single one of you has endless possibilities. " At this point, Lu Xuan looked at her and said, "Moreover, don't you have half of the human bloodline? What good will it do for you to belittle the human race?"
Ling Jin snorted softly and did not refute him. Speaking of which, the Ling clan had indeed benefited greatly from the human bloodline. Although there had never been an ancestor who had become a Demon Emperor, they had an unexpected advantage compared to the other demon races. In particular, they could fuse the power of the sun and moon. Among the demon races, only the Ling clan could do that.
"Hey, can you tell me why you have half of the human bloodline? Based on your demon race's personality, shouldn't you hate mixed bloodlines the most? " Lu Xuan asked with interest. In reality, he had been very curious since they were on the Demon Sealed Continent. However, it was not suitable for him to ask at that time. Now that the two of them knew each other, there was no harm in asking.
Ling Jin was silent. Originally, Lu Xuan thought that she was unwilling to speak, but she then slowly said, "Isn't it because of our bloodline?"
"Actually, in the beginning, the power of our Ling clan's bloodline was the power of the sun. It was incomparably strong. At that time, the Ling clan was considered the top demon race in the Heaven Region. No one dared to challenge us."
"Isn't that good? Who would complain that they are too strong?" Lu Xuan asked in bewilderment.
"We are strong, but have you forgotten what I told you when you first cultivated the power of the sun and moon? Once the yin and yang cannot be balanced, it will bring all sorts of trouble. The power of the sun is extremely strong. Even though our demon race's bodies are incomparably strong, we cannot withstand the power of the world. "
"As our strength increases, the power of the sun in our bodies becomes denser and denser, and the burden on our bodies becomes greater. At that time, our Ling Clan had given birth to many Demon Emperors. You can imagine just how powerful the Supreme Yang Energy within a Demon Emperor's body was. However, it was precisely because they were too powerful that none of our ancestors in history were able to live for more than a hundred years after reaching the strength of a Demon Emperor. The one with the longest lifespan only lived for 98 years. "
Lu Xuan was shocked when he heard this. This was like drinking poison to quench thirst. They clearly knew that the stronger they were, the faster they would die. However, in order to pursue power, they had no choice but to become stronger step by step. When they finally reached the peak with great difficulty, they had already entered the countdown to their lives. Perhaps only the ancestors of the Ling clan who had already fallen could understand this kind of feeling.
Ling Jin did not stop talking. She continued, "Later on, your human race suddenly rose. Originally, the ancestors did not think too much about it. They had long become used to our fate. However, something that changed our fate appeared. One of the ancestors fell in love with a human woman. In order to avoid being tracked down by the clan, they went into hiding and secretly gave birth to children. They lived a peaceful life. "
"However, who would have thought that this ancestor would discover a shocking fact in his descendants. That is, the descendants they gave birth to had the power of Yin and Yang! However, it was no longer the power of the sun. It was a slightly weaker power of the sun. The power of Yin was also the power of the moon … "
At this point, Lu Xuan had more or less understood. He snorted with some dissatisfaction, "It seems that you discovered this secret. Then, you began to search for human women with the body of the sun to reproduce so that your descendants could escape the threat of fate, right? I wonder how many innocent women you have harmed. "
Ling Jin glared fiercely at Lu Xuan and said, "We are not as evil as you think. In the end, that ancestor braved the danger of being killed and brought his wife and children back to the clan. He revealed his discovery. The clan elders did not punish them. Instead, they carefully nurtured their descendants. They wanted to verify the results."
"In the end, one of their children displayed outstanding talent and quickly became the Demon Lord. Moreover, he was not tormented by the power of extreme Yang. Thus, he naturally became the new clan leader and took on the heavy responsibility of freeing all the clansmen from their fate."
"Because of his mother, this ancestor, who was the first to obtain the power of the sun and moon, ordered that no one in the clan was allowed to force human women. If he wanted his descendants to escape from fate, he had to be treated sincerely by human women. Although some people were unwilling to give up the power of the sun and chose to leave the Ling Clan to establish their own clan, most of the clan members obeyed this order. After a long time, the Ling Clan became the Ling Clan that it is today. "
"Hmm … It seems that this first clan leader of yours is not a bad person." Lu Xuan praised. The Ling Clan did not choose to use the method of harming human women to change their bloodline. To the demon race, this was already very commendable.
Then, Lu Xuan asked, "However, although you have escaped from the troubles of fate, you have lost the ability to reach the peak. Don't you regret it?"
"So what if we cannot reach the peak? With the power of the sun and moon, we are still a powerful clan among the demon race. Although we are not as invincible as before, at least we do not have to be tortured by the power of the sun. "
At this point, Ling Jin glanced at Lu Xuan and said, "Of course, I still feel that it is a pity. Everyone wants to become a demon emperor. Otherwise, why do you think the Ling Clan chased after the Heaven Emperor of the human race ten thousand years ago?"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's eyes widened. He instantly understood. Perhaps the Soul Clan really came for the Heaven Sword, or perhaps the other demon race really wanted the Heaven Sword. However, to the Ling Clan, their real goal was definitely not the Heaven Sword, but the Taiyi Origin Technique!
When Duan Hongchen colluded with the demon race and the soul race, he must have revealed the Taiyi Origin Technique. The Ling Clan could not not be interested in the Taiyi Origin Technique. This was a peerless technique that could allow humans to reach the Divine King Realm. The Ling Clan could not become a demon emperor because they were compatible with the bloodline of the human race. Once they obtained the Taiyi Origin Technique, there was a great possibility that they could break through this shackle.
However, Lu Xuan naturally could not reveal this to Ling Jin. According to common sense, he should not know about this. Immediately, he quickly hid his surprised expression and showed a trace of curiosity, "Why?"
Hearing Lu Xuan's question, Ling Jin seemed to realize that she had said a little too much. Immediately, she turned around and pretended that she did not say anything. She said, "Nothing, I have finished my business. How long more do we have to go?"
While talking to Ling Jin, Lu Xuan also forgot to pay attention to the road. At this moment, when he looked up, his heart suddenly trembled. He said, "Soon, the exit is in front. Be careful."
